Search Section

Landmark

In some cases, gene names and other landmarks can also be entered. Support for searching other classes depends on the configuration for the species' data source.

Note, make sure you have selected the correct reference species before clicking the 'Search' button.

Reference Species

This is the species that occupies the center panel in the alignment display.

Alignments for other species are shown with reference to this coordinate system.

Select the species from the pull-down menu and check boxes (see below) to select which species should be aligned to the reference sequence.

Aligned Species

Configured species (except for the reference species) for the selected data source will be listed here.

By checking each box, you indicate that alignments for this species, if available, should be displayed relative to the reference species.

Data Source

Display Mode

The display mode will be either 'expanded' (the default) or 'compact'

The compact display shows all aligned species in a single panel

The expanded display shows the reference species plus two aligned species per panel and repeats the display panel as many times as required to display all aligned species relative to the reference species.

The display mode can be toggled between expanded and compact by clicking the link shown above or via a pull-down menu on the "Display Settings" section
